HOW TO GET AN AFORM IN 11TEEN EASY STEPS

Master trial lawyer Jack Blumenfeld asked this question on FACDL:

Could someone please repeat the procedure to get an A Form from the Clerk’s Office?

It was supposed to be for any arrest form, but was recently emailed back that they only do 72 hours.

Email:

Please send me the a-form for f17-12345

Response: There are four co-defendants A,B,C,D- which one?

Email: B

Response: B what?

Email: B a good clerk and email me the B aform for F17-123456

Response: A forms have no B that's why they are called A

Email: May I please have the A-form for F17-12345B

Response: Have you registered? Do you have a user ID number, password and PIN?

Email: No- how do I get those?

Response: Send a self addressed stamped envelope to Tallahassee, Office of Clerk of the Court: Attention A-Forms, and provide a check for 11.17 to The Clerk of the Court, A forms division. In three weeks you will receive a post card with a temporary PIN. Log in to "Iwantanaform.org" and set up an account. Then when you email this office, provide the PIN, the Password, and the User name.
